<\/span>Sending Gift Money to Europe at a Glance<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indian residents can send gift money to Europe under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme within the USD 250,000 annual limit per individual. TCS at 20% applies on gift remittances exceeding \u20b910 lakh in a financial year, though it can be claimed as a tax credit or refund while filing returns. Transfers require correct RBI purpose codes, PAN, and KYC compliance. Structuring remittances within thresholds or across financial years helps reduce tax impact while ensuring smooth, regulation-compliant gifting to Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
